Bryce Harper, José Altuve headline 2018 MLB All-Star selections

Bryce Harper will represent the Washington Nationals in the 2018 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Despite hitting .218, Harper was voted as a starter in the National League.

While Harper is a name you would have expected in March, he’ll be joined by some surprising candidates. Matt Kemp and Nick Markakis will join Harper as outfield starters in the National League. It’s the first All-Star appearance for the 34-year-old Markakis.

Over in the American League, you have the usual suspects in the outfield. Mike Trout, Aaron Judge and Mookie Betts will lead the way. Manny Machado might get traded to the NL soon, but he’s an AL All-Star for now.
